What changed?
Handle
ErrShardAlreadyAssignedas a successful response inassignEphemeralShardinstead of returning anInternalServiceError. AddedMetadatafield toErrShardAlreadyAssignedto include executor metadata directly in the error.Why?
When multiple concurrent requests try to assign the same ephemeral shard, the first succeeds and subsequent ones receive
ErrShardAlreadyAssigned. Previously this bubbled up as anInternalServiceError, causing unnecessary errors for clients. Since shard assignment is idempotent, we should return the already-assigned owner as a successful response. The error now includes metadata to avoid an extraGetExecutorDB call.How did you test it?
Potential risks
N/A - This is a purely additive change that treats an existing error condition as success.
Release notes
N/A - Internal implementation detail.
